To find whether any year be a leap year or not.

To find the Dominical or Sunday letter.

Rule 2. To the given year add its fourth part, omitting fractions; divide the sum by 7, and if there be no remainder, A is the sunday letter, but if any number remains, then the letter standing under that number is the dominical letter, and the day of the week on which the year commences.

Example.

Require the dominical letter for 1826.

Answer. Note. A leap year has two dominical letters, the first letter stands for January and February, and the second letter stands for March and the rest of the months, because February has in a leap year twenty-nine days.

SIX TABLES

OF CORRECT AND CORRUPT PRONUNCIATION

The author has written the following six tables, pointing out the polite and the vulgar pronunciation of the words which they contain, in order to have them universally corrected, at least in the rising generation. He is happy to admit that Mr. Walker's Dictionary has remedied false orthoepy to a certain degree; but circumstances warrant him in asserting, that it will require powerfu and steady efforts by the friends of literature to accomplish and firmly establish an entire reformation in that respect. As the vernacular errors of any tongue are mostly of long standing, it is not easy to eradicate them, and introduce real improvements in their place. However, were ladies and gentlemen who preside over places of education to exercise their pupils in these tables, and impress on their tender minds this principle, that the one mode of orthoepy is elegant and polite, the other barbarous and vulgar, the author feels pretty confident that it would eventually produce that uniform pronunciation, so much desired by the cultivators of our language. This is a favour the author presumes would follow from a careful inspection of his columns, and a consequent conviction of their fitness to produce the laudable object to which he solicits the attention of teachers.
